Hi Leonard I agree that this would be a good point of learning. The winning sites will (by the nature of Webbys) be talking to mass audiences that museums are trying to engage with more. I also obviously can't miss an opportunity to highlight the fact that Launchball (http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/launchpad/launchball/) - my baby while I was at the Science Museum - was shortlisted in the Webby "Games" category...but got pipped to the post by Kongregate :-( In case you're interested and haven't seen it already, I blogged about what I saw as being the factors that set Launchball apart from a project perspective: http://electronicmuseum.org.uk/2008/03/11/launchball-we-did-it-differently-and-got-it-right/ Cheers Mike Mike Ellis Solutions Architect

While there I learned that the website I worked on for INVIONI Interactive Media Design did get an honorable mention at the Webbys; in 2005 INVIONI won a webby. We'd love to participate in a conversation about what museums can learn from the Webby award winning projects.

Winners and nominees are at http://www.webbyawards.com/webbys/current.php?season=12. Great to see wonderful ideas expressed in the "outside world." Take a look at TED's site for Best Visual Design - Functional and how items of interest can be visually sorted. In the Arts category, it was nice to see that Edward Hopper's New York from the National Gallery of Art was a finalist. It recently won a Gold Muse Award at AAM. Would love to see discussion of web sites with specific lessons museums could learn from. len _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l at mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://toronto.mediatrope.com/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l at mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://toronto.mediatrope.com/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l
